Hot Stones Massage
-v-
Deep Tissue.
5 reasons you might want to change up your regular deep tissue massage to incorporate a hot stones treatment.
1. Deeper Muscle Relaxation with Less Pressure
The heat from the stones penetrates muscles more deeply, allowing therapists to work on tension without needing as much force — ideal if you find deep tissue massages too intense.
2. Improved Blood Flow and Circulation
The warmth of the stones dilates blood vessels, increasing circulation more effectively than manual pressure alone, which supports faster healing and recovery.
3. Enhanced Stress and Anxiety Reduction
The calming effect of heat combined with massage has been shown to lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels more significantly than deep tissue massage alone.
4. Pain Relief for Chronic Conditions
Conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, or lower back pain often respond better to the heat application, which soothes nerve endings and reduces discomfort beyond what cold or manual techniques can achieve.
5. Greater Sense of Emotional Calm
The sensory experience of heat, smooth stones, and rhythmic movement triggers the parasympathetic nervous system more fully — leaving you in a deeper state of relaxation than a standard deep tissue session.
Give it a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed and for the month of June there’s not extra charge to your regular massage for having hot stones.
